LAC 55:XXI.705. Emergency Alternative Process for Request of Public Resources

A. If the emergency or disaster disrupts internet connectivity within the parish OHSEP, the following methods of submitting public resource requests will be allowed during that period of disruption: 1. via telephone call to the state EOC; 2. via fax to the state EOC; 3. via radio call to the state EOC through the Louisiana Wireless Information Network (LWIN) on the GOHSEP hailing channel or utilizing amateur radio operators; or 4. via the regional coordinator or area manager serving that parish. B. After receiving public resource requests through one of these methods, GOHSEP will enter the request into the web-based emergency management software on the parish OHSEP’s behalf. Once internet connectivity at the parish OHSEP is restored, the parish OHSEP must notify GOHSEP. At that point, the parish OHSEP will be responsible for monitoring and updating its public resource requests.
